Episode notes

There's only one implementation of the type checking algorithm, which is Microsoft's TSC that is implemented in in JavaScript. It's built into Dino and we use that when you're using the VS code editor extension for Dino to do type checking. Do you think we'll ever see a Microsoft or somebody else? I know that there's some rumbles that Vercel of building a type checker in Rust or in Go. All of those projects are very much just experimental at this stage.

In this supper club episode of Syntax, Wes and Scott talk with Ryan Dahl about Deno. Why was Deno created? What is Deno written in? How is Deno so much faster? And what’s the future of Deno?
